The battle of Murfreesboro' from a Yankee point of view.

Augusta, Jan. 15

--A special to the Savannah Republican, dated Tullahoma, 14th, says that a member of Rosecrans's staff, in a telegram to the Louisville Journal describes the battle of Murfreesboro' as the greatest battle of modern times, and states that their batteries were massed into a park of a hundred cannon. Such carnage is unknown in history. He estimates their force at 70,000, and ours at 80,000. Over forty Lincolnite Generals and Colonels were killed, and as many more wounded.
